Chapter 76
“No wonder Britney didn’t wear a dress today, turns out Mr. Livingston had another date.”
The person who said this probably knew Rodrick a bit and knew that the date he brought to parties was always Britney.
“You guys didn’t know, right? The beautiful lady next to Mr. Livingston was actually someone important. Her father was Mr. Theodore Webster, and the Webster family was a perfect match for the Livingston family.”
A few people sighed.
“So, Mr. Livingston, were you planning to settle down?”
“Guess something good, was about to happen.”
These discussions went into Britney’s ears word for word. When she put down her wine glass, she glanced in the direction where the two
were.
Rodrick was wearing the suit she had picked out for him before.
It suited him.
The size was spot on, too.
After all, she measured it herself, so there wouldn’t be any mistakes.
Bianca didn’t wear the dress she ordered for herself.
But Britney still recognized right away that the dress she was wearing was exactly the one she first liked yesterday at Blossom Apparel.

You could tell Rodrick really spoiled Bianca.
The dress she booked in advance got ruined, so she went to Blossom Apparel right away and booked another one for her.
She even went with Bianca to get her dress altered herself, and didn’t care if it made them late for the party.
Even if he was the host of this party.
But he was always someone who cared a lot about being on time.
Rodrick set examples for Bianca over and over again, and each time it totally changed what Britney thought she knew.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that Rodrick was very strange.
They had done all the most intimate things.

Katheryn poured hot water for Britney and asked her worriedly, “Britney, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, I can still hold on.” Britney felt a bit better after drinking some hot water. “How’s it outside?”
“Everything was fine.” Katheryn sighed helplessly, “You should worry about yourself first, your face was so pale.”
“You go ahead and get busy, I’ll take a break first.” Britney was worried they might need more people outside, so she let Katheryn go out and cover first.
“Okay, just call me if you need anything.”
After Katheryn left, Britney was just about to rest against the wall

when her phone rang.
It was Rodrick who called.
When Britney picked up, her voice sounded tired, “Mr. Livingston.”
“Where were you?”
Britney could feel his coldness even over the phone.
“In the bathroom.”
“Hurry over.”
Britney wanted to ask what was wrong, but Rodrick hung up the phone.
It was like saying even one more word to her was a waste of his time!
Britney had to pull herself together and go out.
Rodrick was chatting with the guests, all smiles.
After all, having both a successful career and love made me happy.
Saw Britney coming, and frowned a little.
Probably because they weren’t happy she didn’t wear a dress.
There were guests, and he didn’t really say anything, just lifted his chin to signal her to serve the drinks.
Obviously, he called her on purpose to ask her to help him avoid drinking.
Just like before, he came when she called and left when she waved him
away.
Chapter 76
Britney hesitated for two seconds and said, “Mr. Livingston, my stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.”
Rodrick frowned, like he didn’t expect Britney to react like that.
His tone unconsciously got a bit heavier, “This is Mr. Ewing from Prospect Capital.”
